With one of the greatest names in Baseball, Cookie Rojas was a four-time All-Star for the Kansas City Royals. Rojas had four straight .260 seasons with 120 Hits, which included a .300 Batting Average season in 1971. Rojas would receive MVP votes in two different years (1971 & 1973) and was certainly one of the more popular figures in the team’s history.
With all due respect to Rojas, his overall sabremetrics make it a little difficult to rank him any higher.
